The most influential person in my life is my father. He
teaches me how to have a goal in life. He assures me
that I will accomplish it. He always builds my
confidence with his best efforts. My father's love is
unconditional. Leaving all of his ambitions and
dreams, he helps me to have a dream and support
me to reach it.
Since my childhood, he has been working in a
small company. In the afternoon, he comes from his
wearying work with his same old suitcase, asking,
"How is your day?" with his cheerful and contented
eyes. The fact that he never shows his exhausted
face has always surprised me. Although we may be
an ordinary family living in a small apartment room,
our family is always distinguished by his everlasting
love, strong support, and inspiriting courage.
It has always been my father that inspired me in
many ways. “Don’t be lazy, keep up trying, don’t give
up” that what he says lovingly whenever I feel
disappointed with my study. He always reminds me if I
want my dream come true I must struggle for it.
